Volunteer

There are lots of service opportunities at OCC to fit every personality and calling. We welcome individuals, families, and service groups available to serve on a Saturday morning. Take a minute to browse through volunteer areas below and find a ministry where you would like to serve. Whole families enjoy serving together and high schoolers can get community service credit for their time. If you are exploring the options, click the button below to request more information. (This will take you to a form that upon being submitted will send you an email to “confirm your subscription”. Simply click on the link in the email and the volunteer info will be sent to you within the hour. You can “unsubscribe” at any time.)

If you’ve already decided to volunteer at OCC, get a jump on the volunteer process onsite: if you are age 18 or older, simply click the button below to register as a volunteer and permit a background check. You will receive your photo ID onsite (processing time frames vary). For volunteers under age 18, instead of a background check, you and your parent must read and sign the OCC Under 18 Volunteer Policy (also available onsite).

By typing your name at the end of the application (electronic signature), it gives us permission to do the background check. Rest assured, all information entered and results received will be kept confidential. Additionally, to protect your privacy, our background check company uses the same type of security that banks use over a secure connection.

Transportation Ministry

Bus Drivers –Requires CDL-Class D license,

Bus Monitors/Mentors – OCC begins the moment kids step on the bus and ends the moment they step off. For many, the ride to church is a good portion of their morning. Monitoring gives you a lot of extra time to love on and invest in the kids from your route, as well as meet their families and see where they live.

Mechanics – Anyone skilled in bus mechanics? We welcome you! On the occasion that one of our buses needs some TLC, we’d love to be able to call in your expertise.

Care and Outreach

“From prayer and encouragement to outreach, these teams serve people in need of love and support.”

Street Team – S.T. has a very basic concept: Hang with kids on the streets where they live.

Outreach – visit and provide OCC families with meals when there is a birth or difficult circumstance. Bless those who are homebound or ill by visiting, sharing a laugh or two and praying with them.

Project Partner – If you have a desire to experience hands-on ministry become a project partner! Professional skills are not required, just a willing heart to minister to kids and their families who need help with home repairs, moving, yard work or other project needs.

Prayer Partner – Our God is a God who hears and answers prayers! If your heart is stirred by the needs of others and you have a burden to see the Lord move in the lives of the kids, Jesus may be calling you to serve as a Prayer Partner. In this ministry, you will be praying for the kids and the families of the kids who come to OCC on Saturdays.
